More Bogus Obama Donors Surface
Donations Made Between July and Early August



October 6, 2008

(CBS) CBS News Investigative Producer Laura Strickler wrote this story for CBSNews.com
with additional reporting from Sarah Fitzpatrick and Ariel Bashi.

CBS News has learned that two donors to the Obama campaign that gave a total of $7,722 appear to have made their contributions under fake names that look like they were written by a mouse running across a keyboard: Dahsudhu Hdusahfd of Df, Hawaii with the following employer CZXVC/ZXVZXV and Uadhshgu Hduadh listed as living in Dhff, Florida listed their employer as DASADA/SAFASF.

CBS News did not find any records of these last names, towns or employers anywhere else. Newsweek reported two questionable Obama donors over the weekend named "Doodad Pro" and "Good Will".

Contributions from the two donors Hdusahfd and Hduadh were made on the same day starting on July 16, 2008. Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show the campaign began refunding the donations as early as August 6, 2008.

Despite numerous refunds from the Obama campaign, Hdusahfd still has a record of giving a total of $7500 to Obama which is well over the legal limit for the primary and general election of $4600. Hduadh gave $14,200 but the Obama campaign returned all but $222.00.

The Obama campaign says "out of an abundance of caution" all of these donations are in the process of being returned.

Obama spokesperson Bill Burton sent CBS News the following email statement, "We constantly review our donors for any issues and while no organization is completely protected from internet fraud, we will continue to review our fundraising procedures to ensure that we are taking every available step to root-out improper contributions." Burton pointed to Harry Sargeant, one of McCain?s donors who is now the subject of a Congressional investigation. McCain returned $50,000 to Sargeant in early August.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has asked the FEC to look into foreign donations to the Obama campaign. The FEC told CBS News they would not comment on the RNC's complaint.

Other donors who gave over the legal limit to the Obama campaign contacted by CBS News said their money was refunded promptly by the campaign. Of those who spoke to CBS News, it seems their only mistake was that of enthusiasm.

Felicity Nitz, 60, of Brooklyn says she kept on clicking on Obama?s online fundraising appeals, "I just kept punching it when I got the emails," she said, "I'm an insane supporter."

Christian Skeem from Chicago says he got a letter back from the campaign with a check, "I couldn't give them more than the limit because they kept sending it back, it wasn't like they weren't on the ball. The reason he gave so much? "Cause I'm a fan," he said.

Let's stick with "innocent until proven guilty".

If they are returning contributions, that suggests that they are getting it right.

Yes ,lets do that with McCain too.

Maybe this thread could have been better titled, "More Whining from McCain Supporters Surfaces."

Cleaning up campaign finances apparently was not on the list of Obama's ch-ch-ch-changes.

<<Cleaning up campaign finances apparently was not on the list of Obama's ch-ch-ch-changes.>>

Sure as hell wasn't what I projected onto MY blank screen, and I don't think it was projected onto too many others.

"Change" means no more Big Lies (i.e., war-starting lies,) no more wars of unprovoked aggression, no more ignoring the uninsured, the poor and the minorities, no more back-breaking military budgets and penny-pinching social welfare budgets, no more religious interference in scientific research, no more doctrinaire anti-woman jurists on the Supreme Court.  THAT kinda change.

That may be what it means to you , but why would you think BHO has the same thing in mind?

Did you catch his remarks in reguards to Darfur?

BHO will not stop the US from being the worlds policeman.

McCain seemed upset with him for telegraphing the punches, McCain didn't say that he would not invade Packistan , but he said that Obama should not have warned the invadee so well as he did.

The US providing logistical support for the African Union in Darfur would do a lot to stop the violence there, and would not be a great expense of money of risk of lives. That is not in the same league as overthrowing the government of Iraq and then rebuilding it from the ruins in the midst of a civil war.

Policing can be a major effort, but there are also parking tickets and putting abusive drunks in the tank.

Bogus donations ... fake voters ... What do you expect? It's Chicago gone national.

Not a risk of many of us anyway , but the risk to the guys who would enforce our wishes would still be great even though they would only be allies.
